Hi all,
I'm running Centos 5.5 with Xen 4.0.1
Would like to use a USB key (not a block device) in my domU.
Dom0 lsusb yields;
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 064f:0bd8 ABC-Systems AB CDE/FG
xm usb-add shows;
Usage: xm usb-add <domain> <[host:bus.addr] [host:vendor_id:product_id]>
Not sure what combo will work in this case.
However, I've read some notes regarding xm usb-attach. What subset of Xen do I need for this command to show?

Hopefully that helps.

Hi Pasi,
This wasn't very helpful.
Is there any definitive answer on wether USB passthrough works using Xen 4.0.1 and Centos 5.5?
Seems like it fails miserably based on the posts I have read.
KVM on the other hand seems to work.

centos5 kernel-xen does NOT have xen pvusb drivers included, so pvusb won't work, unless you grab/build the drivers from http://xenbits.xen.org/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
Xen HVM guest qemu-dm USB passthru (usb 1.1) should be available, but that is only for Xen HVM VMs, not for PV domUs.
If using pvops 2.6.32 dom0 kernel, then pvusb drivers are available here: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-01/msg00354.html

One option is to use Xen PCI passthru to pass the USB controller (pci device) to the domU.
